Display date fields in labels without timestamps using Arcade in ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise portal

Summary

In ArcGIS Online and the ArcGIS Enterprise portal, the timestamps can be removed using an Arcade expression when displaying a date field as labels. This is useful when displaying a date field without timestamps while retaining the timestamps in the attribute table. In this example, the date field used is named ‘TestDate'.

The web map below displays the date field labels with timestamps to be removed using the following workflow.

Procedure

1. Open the web map in Map Viewer.
2. On the Settings (light) toolbar, click More > Labels . Ensure labels are enabled by toggling on the Enable labels option.
3. In the Label features pane, click Add label class. Under Label field, click Use expression .
4. In the editor window, configure the expression below. Replace <field_name> with the name of the date field to be displayed as labels.

Note: 
The format of the dates can be configured as per preference. In this example, the date format used is Y-MM-DD.

Text($feature.<field_name>, 'Y-MM-DD')

5. Click Done in ArcGIS Online Map Viewer or OK in the ArcGIS Enterprise portal.
